@godzilladad that's .. kind of the point of the movie
Shout by The_Argentinian
I was really enjoying this movie but I gotta say that I found the final minutes, when Tom starts reading the names and the piano notes start playing and then the orchestral music swells up while the people stand up, to be on the cheesy side, to be honest.

@the_argentinian The ending was almost ridiculous and it's no surprise that it never happened. Sorkin went way overboard there
Haha this movie is so unexpectedly bad, you think it's one kind of movie then it just does a hard 180 into insanity. I wish I didn't have the twist spoiled because I would of loved to have seen this unfold and had the big WTF moment.

@nmahoney416 I didn't know what was going to happen, and up until Henry's death I didn't have a problem with the movie. But holy shit the second half of this is a dumpster fire. I was laughing out loud at several scenes. Props to Trevorrow for trying something risky but he fell on his face in spectacular fashion
Not a very good film.

@eoghannmacleoid The fact is, in my opinion this is not to be taken literally at all, not as a statement, not as a scientific piece. I view it as something similar to Daredevil's origin story, in which no one ever complained about the unrealistic portrayal of blindness (at least, I hope so). Who knows what Kevin went through to make him what he is today. We don't know since we meet him at an advanced period of his life and don't really see the birth and development of his condition. Therefore, I personally interpret this situation just as the fact that DID was in this case the inspiration chosen by the writer to tell a story, just like blindness was for Daredevil.
Not a very good film.

@eoghannmacleoid I'm sorry but this is one of the most uninformed and unhelpful reviews I've ever read. Your whole point is based on your not clearly understanding the universe in which this film is set, that is a universe in which superpowers and supernatural abilities have been established as possible, as introduced in the movie Unbreakable.
There's no real point being made about the illness itself. This is just the tale of Kevin Wendell Crumb, who is afflicted by DID, but the science in this movie isn't supposed to be accurate, or even plausible. There is an underlying layer of actual science to set the groundwork for the fictional tale, set in a superhero world.
This is just misinformation and rushed reasoning.
The script and direction can be a little rough at times but an excellent cast and great dynamics between a family of characters made The Hollars an enjoyable watch. John Krasinski shows potential as director but he has some room for improvement. Richard Jenkins and Margo Martindale are both excellent.

@randomacd4 Completely agree. With a script less filled with rom-com clichès this could have been a really good movie.
The reviews have been quite good but I just cant bring myself another movie starring Johnny Depp....hes had more bombs than Syria. Give me a good reason to watch this....

Joel Edgerton. He stole this movie for me, he's stellar
